Thanks. Cool and the gang. One clarifying question, are you a crazy let's get up at 5 am and paddle until 7 pm no side-hike or river party kind of gal? Or can sane people do the 100 and enjoy it?

Nope- we're the crazy run shuttle at midnight, come back and drink until 2 am, roll out of the tent at 8, hope to put on by 9, end up putting on by 11, find a cool camp site around 4, and do it again, hoping we can make up the mileage the next day kind of crowd- and we still took out well before dark on Sunday.

Although the middle section may be a little slower than the upper.

Jeez guys, cool your jets. Not everyone doesn't have a life and is able to just sit around and watch and make kayak videos and post on the Buzz all day.

Oh...wait...nevermind....

It is a great river trip. It did flow @ 4000 cfs 3 or 4 years ago. One of my favorites.

Count,

You did it at 4,000 CFS too low. It's still mellow at that higher level, ex snagg which is good clean fun, but I bet you'd come away with an improved opinion. What you'd really like though is the Stoner Stampede upstream at that level - uphill eddies, auto-squirts, and big waves.
